I Think a Lot

Loneliness is everywhere. I think a majority of us seek a connection, and unfortunately, there is a lack thereof. Sometimes I wonder if others feel the same way, but hide it behide smiles. I know that I do. Do you sometimes wonder what choices to make? What kinds of decisions choose the course of your life? Should risks always be taken? When do you know to take the leap? How reliable is faith? Can you trust your instincts? And what of this "gut feeling" they say? There are so many things I wonder. All I do is think. I'm very stagnant in my life right now. I'm pausing because I don't know what path(s) to take. What's the point? Is happiness and joy at the end? Or is it part of the journey? How do I even know what I'll run into. Is there signs pointing me towards any direction? Do signs even exist or is it superstition? Or is it faith? I don't think I've made the right choices so far in my life. I know because of how I feel in my gut. I've lost my sense of instinct because of how I feel emotionally. So no. I don't know anything and I don't know what to do or how. Rambling helps me think. Or at least, helps me makes sense, even though I don't feel like I'm making sense...

I am the king of hiding behind smiles

I don’t have the answers to all your questions. However, I can relate to a certain degree. Emotional turbulence can cloud judgment and in turn hamper our ability to exercise caution. We rarely follow instinct when we are emotionally motivated to make decisions. I seek to find compatibility with my emotions and my ability to rationalize things. If I can find that in a companion, I dont feel so alone. Meditation is key, to calming the internal chaos.

@SW-User A lot of the chaos you speak can't be found in healing with another. I don't know what is hurting you, or chasing you. But I can say I find you a very open spirit, listening, wanting to be there for people, and if there is a lonely place in you, you are doing a very good job in sharing reminding people here they aren't alone. I sometimes need that reminder, like you sometimes likely do, and thank you.

Not everything is as it appears to be. One can only try to be happy and take necessary steps towards achieving that. We all got our inner battles to fight. Some are just doing way better than us. @SW-User

@SW-User Oh I know - I only hope I remain sensible and sensitive (hard together)

If you experience synchronicity you can keep paying close attention to the "messages" and honor where they point. Loneliness is a global plague but in the states it is especially bad. So make sure you never rely on someone else to give you YOUR meaning. The more you can give to others the less lonely you will feel although you might still be very alone. Try to always have one or two really special friends to turn to if all else fails you. I hope this helps a little.

we are all half nuts with the stresses and injustice and loneliness of modern life, humanity seems to be becoming obsolete, so much evidence...
